Is it wrong if i believe LeBron James is no longer the best player in the NBA anymore?

I think that Harden might be better than LeBron now, at least offensively.

 

I've never seen lebron as the best player in the nba

He's probably one of the most gifted athletes of all time and one of the biggest b****es in the nba. Lebron being "clutch" is bulldozing into the paint for a foul. Has never been that great of a shooter.

Sure he took the cavs to the finals back in the day but so did dwight and I don't see he's MVP

The man has almost literally hand picked his last 2 teams and only has two rings(thanks to ray Allen of the ****ing BENCH and a unhealthy weak Eastern conference). Gets his ass handed to him on a historic level last years finals, and compared to to kobe and MJ his finals appearance is embarrassing

The nba started going downhill when lebron took the spotlight. You think kobe or MJ or any old school players would get AIR LIFTED back to Miami after breaking their nose and miss 3 games? No

I may sound like a hater but that's cause I am. Without god blessing him with his freak physical appearance, he really isn't that talented as a HOF baller.

My biggest thing against him is his self promoted PR of a career. If you've been watching his uninterrupted videos this post season, he literally talks as if he is prophet and his teammates are his disciples. According to him the next bible testament is gonna be " the book of lebron"

 

That's true of all NBA players - they are freakishly athletic, and the ones with the most athleticism are generally the best players. If Hakeem Olajuwon or James Harden were 5 feet tall, they wouldn't be anything special either.

 

I mean by definition 'losing steps' might be just his way of coasting through the regular season

At this point of his career he should not be so worried about the regular season but only the postseason and the Finals

He has nothing to prove other than winning more championships

I admit to the fact that I cannot watch a lot of Cavs games but that is what I am thinking.

Him taking care of himself is of the utmost importance.

That said he might have lost half a step in terms of athleticism but he is too skilled not to be effective

 

Lots of amazing things to comment on, but this one takes the cake.

 

Dudes obv a kobe homer and sour that his idol cant even sniff his jockstrap. At least Lebron got to the finals on his own, without a HOF big man by his side all Kobe can do is get blown out and then quit on the game.

 

After the Chicago series and these last two games against the Hawks, anyone who still thinks Blatt has nothing to do with the Cavs' success knows NOTHING about basketball. The guy has coached circles around both Bud and Thibs and made both of them look like they are the rookie coaches.

 

LeBron's the coach, bruh.

 

As I said, then, you know nothing about basketball.

 

Cool story, bball junkie :grin:

 

All you need to know about Lebron's greatness is that he's making that absolute scrub Matthew Dellavadova look viable. That alone might be the biggest accomplishment of anyone this season.

 

Even LeBron said Harden is the most difficult to defend

 

There are all kind of haters but this kind of hater takes the cake. You may not like him as a person but you can still respect him for what he does ON the court. Without god blessing any current or former basketball players with freak physical talents they wouldn't play in the NBA.

 

LeBron is gonna be the best player in the league until he retires.

 

LeBron is still the best, not for long though.

 

LeBron never has to defend himself.

 

I don't think Lebron is the best anymore but he's definitely great. When Paul Millsap is your primary defender of course you look good. It's just no one can really check him in the east. We will see Lebron begging for Kevin Love when Ariza is locking him down in the finals.

 

Anthony Davis and Westbrook will disagree.

 

Bump.

 

Lebron will always be one of my favorite players.... that guy is so big and skilled
